So Sorry, too busy to write

I have had a lot on my mind recently. Much of it has to do with wanting to take a baseball bat and slinging it around a little bit just to shake things up a bit, but I digress and I haven't even gotten started yet. Of course, for readers who live anywhere around Memphis, you know that the weather, prior to a week or so ago, was enough to start a violent streak in any sane person, but that isn't the problem now either.

No. What I have had on my mind has had to do with personal accountability versus collaborative decision making. Matter a fact, it is going to be the theme of my e-newsletter coming out in a couple of weeks. If anybody tells me they have to go ask for permission or have a meeting to decide something, I think I'll scream. What happened to the days when someone in business could make a decision without going to ask a committee or "team" for their "input?"

Nike's slogan, "Just do it" has lasted successfully --since 1988-- because some brilliant person laser focused a HUGE problem and the solution down to those three words. If all companies could just take that attitude, we might have less economic malaise and more UMPH in our workforce right now.

So besides sitting around and pondering life's issues, RSG has been working on an expansion plan that I'll be sharing over the coming weeks and months. I hope everyone has had a terrific summer and email me at whodges@rsghunt.com if there is a Ask The Recruiter question I can attempt to answer
